| Direct tuning | Tuning in the station by inputting the frequency of the station directly. |
| Manual tuning | Even if you don't know the frequency of the station, you can tune in the station precisely. |
| Scan tuning | An automatic searching of a station. |
| Preset tuning | Up to 10 stations can be preset for button-touch tuning. |
| Timer standby | The function to receive a desired station at a desired time. |
| Sleep timer | Turning the radio off automatically in 65 minutes |
| Power sources | Three different power sources: internal batteries, house current, car battery. With the supplied AC power adaptor, any AC power source is available. |



Setting the clock while listening to the radio
You cannot set the clock while you are listening to the radio. Be sure to press ON/OFF to turn the radio off and set the clock.
The display when the radio is turned off
The current time is displayed.
Zero second adjustment
If you want to adjust the time exactly to the second with a telephone time signal. proceed as in the following example.
Example: To set to 15:15


To turn off the radio, press ON/OFF.

To improve receiving condition
If you input a wrong frequency
Press FM/EXECUTE or AM/EXECUTE again and input the correct frequency.
If you do not press FM or AM EXECUTE within 5 seconds after you input a frequency
The frequency indication turns to the previous one and you will hear the station of its frequency.
When the frequency near the input frequency is displayed
The frequencies which this radio receives are allocated in the following intervals depending on the broadcast band.
If you input a frequency that does not match these intervals, the frequency just below the one that you input will be tuned in and will be displayed.
| FM | 0.05 or 0.1 MHz | SW | 5 kHz |
| MW | 9 kHz* | LW | 3 kHz |
If TRY AGAIN! indication appears
If you input the frequency outside the frequency range, TRY AGAIN! blinks. When you press FM/EXECUTE or AM/EXECUTE again, this indication will disappear. If you do not press the button, it will disappear after 5 seconds and the frequency ot the previously tuned station will appear.
When the sound is distorted
Normally set SENS to DX, however, when the sound is distorted set it to LOCAL.
When you are listening to the news
Set TONE to NEWS. Human voice will be heard more clearly. When you are listening to music, set it to MUSIC.

To prevent accidental change of the receiving station
Press KEY PROTECT. The mark appears in the display window and all the buttons on the front panel will not work.
To release the KEY PROTECT function, press KEY PROTECT again.
When the station is tuned in
The TUNE indicator lights up.
Frequency band changes continuously
If you keep MANUAL TUNING (+) pressed, the frequency band being tuned in will change from LW to MW, SW, FM and then back to LW.
What is meter band?
SW is devided into 13 bands by the wave length (meter).
Each band is called meter band.

*1 Some of the LW stations are not tuned in with the 3 kHz interval. When you try to tune in them, first tune in the frequency near them and then tune in precisely with FINE TUNING.
*2 These frequencies can be tuned in either by direct tuning or manual tuning but cannot be selected by pressing both BAND and MANUAL TUNING.
*3 Except for Saudi Arabia
*4 France, Germany, Switzerland, Scandinavian countries and Saudi Arabia
&5 Countries other than *4
When scanning stops too often
Set SENS to LOCAL.


e.g. To preset FM 89.0 MHz on the button 1
The number of the stations you can preset
Up to 10 FM and AM stations in total can be preset on the PRESET/DIRECT TUNING buttons. You can store only one station on each button.

To check the preset station
Press PRESET/DIRECT TUNING while pressing BAND. The frequency ot the preset station is displayed. You can check anytime even if another station is tuned in.
To change the preset station
Store a station on a desired PRESET/DIRECT TUNING button. The station previously stored on the button is erased.
This radio receives the station at the interval of frequency shown in the list. To receive a station whose frequency does not coincide with this interval, it is necessary to adjust the tuning in approx. ± 5 kHz range by FINE TUNING. In this case, the frequency display will not change.
| Position | Broadcast type |
| NORM | fine tuning does not operate in this position |
| FINE | For LW/MW/SW reception (DSB, Double side band) |
| LSB*1 | For ham and CW reception (below 10 MHz) |
| USB*2 | For ham and business radio reception (above 10 MHz |
*1 Lower side band
*2 Upper side band
SSB (Single side band)
SSB is very popular among ham and business radio and will be found on ail of the amateur bands because of its signal intelligibility. This results from that it transmits signals with half bandwidth of DSB (Double side band).
Typical AM (MW, LW, SW) band uses DSB. In DSB transmission, the amplitude of a carrier is modulated according to transmitted frequencies as shown below.

USB: Upper side band
LSB: Lower side band
Audio signals are included both in USB and LSB. These signals included in IJSB and LSB are the same ones except that they are in the opposite phase relation. This means that transmission can be done using only one of IJSB and LSB. SSB transmission is the system in which such a method is used. In general, SSB transmissions up to 10 MHz shall employ LSB modulation, and those above this frequency shall use USB. To receive SSB transmission, the unit with the BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator) circuits is needed to convert SSB Signals into audio Signals. SSB cannot be heard with the radio which has no such circuits.
CW (Continuous wave)
CW is also popular among ham and business radio. In CW transmission, the amplitude of a carrier is not modulated while that of other systems is modulated. CW conveys information by interrupting a carrier using Morse code. It can be heard as a beat sound only with the unit equipped with the BFO circuits. To understand information transmitted by CW, you need to learn the Morse code.
